A new study by the Alliance for Water Efficiency (AWE) reveals that California Water Service's (Cal Water) conservation efforts have reduced customer bills by up to 20.5% over the past 15 years. The study, titled 'The Economic Value of Efficiency for California Water Service: Lower Water Bills,' demonstrates how water efficiency measures have decreased operating costs, resulting in customer savings.
Key findings include:
- Conservation measures have enabled environmental benefits such as lower chemical use and reduced energy consumption
- Tiered rate structures, universal metering, and efficient plumbing standards have contributed to lower operating costs
- Without demand reduction since 2008-2009, bills would have been 1.2% to 20.5% higher across Cal Water's service areas
- Investments in water conservation directly benefit customers by slowing the increase in water service costs over time

California Water Service (Cal Water), the largest subsidiary of California Water Service Group (NYSE: CWT), has filed its Infrastructure Improvement Plans for 2025-2027 with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). The proposal includes a $1.6 billion investment in California water systems, with $1.3 billion allocated to new capital investments.
Key projects include replacing aging pipelines, water quality upgrades, infrastructure replacements, generators, solar installations, and security enhancements. The plan also features a Low-Use Water Equity Program aimed at decoupling revenue from water sales, intended to benefit low-use, low-income customers while promoting conservation.
Cal Water seeks to increase total revenue by $140.6 million (17.1%) in 2026, $74.2 million (7.7%) in 2027, and $83.6 million (8.1%) in 2028. These proposals will undergo an 18-month review by the CPUC, with new rates potentially effective from January 2026.
California Water Service (Cal Water) has welcomed the California Supreme Court's decision to uphold decoupling as a rate-making mechanism, which supports water conservation and protects customer interests. The ruling responded to the CPUC's August 2020 Low-Income Ratepayer Assistance Phase 1 Decision, stating CPUC failed to provide adequate notice before considering eliminating decoupling. This practice helps keep water rates affordable for low-water-using customers while ensuring financial stability for utilities. Cal Water, one of four utilities challenging CPUC's decision, sees this ruling as a victory for due process rights and effective water management.
